The death occurred in Swakopmund in recent days of two well known residents. Mr Hubert Blom, an official of the municipality of Swakopmund, died on Wednesday from what is believed to have been a massive heart attack. Mr Blom worked in the municipality's sewerage department and was out on a call. His body was found behind the steering wheel of his vehicle, indicating his death came suddenly. Over the weekend, a general practitioner, Dr Anthony Currie passed on. Family members of the deceased declined to comment yesterday, and indicated they only wish to make a public statement later this week once they came to terms with the shock.

Mr Kobi Alexander, an Israeli citizen with significant business and property interests in Namibia (and the coast) was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment in the United States for a financial crime involving Securities.
